With a three-day weekend in store for most, day drinking is prominent. Feeling invincible behind the wheel while intoxicated puts everyone at risk – those in the vehicle and others on the road. There’s no harm in drinking while celebrating but once you start to put other’s lives in danger, it becomes a serious problem. Even if you’ll be one of the designated drivers, it is detrimental to be aware of drunk drivers on the road with you. Here’s what to look for —

Law enforcement officials say there are several signs associated with drunk driving:

Making wide turns

Weaving, swerving, drifting, or straddling the center line

Almost striking an object or vehicle

Driving on the wrong side of the road

Driving at a very slow speed

Stopping without cause

Braking erratically

Responding slowly to traffic signals

Turning abruptly or illegally

Driving after dark with headlights off
